[QUOTE="Amazing Triangle, post: 3303561, member: 39939"] Wow I am sorry. I was thinking I could make my largest island have mining and in that regard they could trade. I agree that some islands would not have minerals and might have leaf armor (races of the wild) or Chitian Armor (Savage Species or Arms and Equipment). I also was thinking the some of the smaller islands would be unexplored by a large kingdom. This could lead to some cool adventures in my mind. Could not the mines for steel be deep under mountains on some of the islands? This is why I wanted ideas and for each to have their own flavor. This would work too allowing some Darwin slight variations across a section of islands. I just don't want them all to be the same. For clarity I meant small by comparison to normal "the island is the world" island that most DM's make. The text I quoted is the kind of thing I had thought of. It could simply be that not many people could afford to just explore a new island. Think Christopher Columbus who only got a grant to explore because they though he could go to China. A mix between Hawaii, Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Cuba, Cape Verde, Puerto Rico, and New Zealand. These islands even have metal for swords and such. Hope this clears things up....Thanks to the two so far (Dreams, Heaven) [/QUOTE]
